PAM363 QC Pics. Thoughts?

[steve45058]

Hey guys, I just got my PAM363 QC pics from PureTime. There's a couple things I noticed that I circled in white. Wanted to see if the RWI forum peeps could spot anymore things I should ask about. Thanks so much!

The strap look like it stain

That look like a stain on the strap but those white spot on the watch itself might be just some kind of fibre on it. The watch look good imo.

Minute counter has wobbly hand issue. But that is something virtually all of them have. You should ask to see another in his inventory, that this one is not up to par.

Thanks Oracle and yngchrn and carlton. Yeah I was informed of the chrono hand issue, so I will definitely ask about that.

Anything else?

What is it that makes this watch not up to par?

This is a common issue for chrono movement, especially 7753 if i'm not wrong. A watch of mine which fitted with 7750 also have this issue, it is not obvious in real.

the strap is in plastic and it appears the plastic is dirty where the "stain" is...not the actual strap itself

Thanks for your help guys!

That's the best example, how to make beautiful watch ugly - just PVD it!!!

+1.
I had that on my 196 with 7753 mov. Sometimes it lined up perfectly, sometimes not. You got to live with that. Or buy a gen .......:cheers:

Time to close this thread
For general info, the wobbly minute hand is a very few noticeable issue of all rep A7753. You cannot advice people to claim dealers for a non wobbly A7750.
Dealers will become crazy and will try to avoid QC pics trough an agreement between them.
I'm starting to get a bit tired by QC pics posts without evident flaws or with flaws to be discussed with the dealers and not with the members here.

It would be necessary to give an infraction people posting these QC pics... and... people answering inappropriate things. Sorry
